Why the hell did they make Wow armor in real life? Shit, you don't see any other games that are selling crap like this.

I really love it when nerds bash other kinds of nerds for their particular brand of nerdiness. You're a bunch of jerks. Also posting things like "pussy repelant" is a sure sign of never having been laid..

I guess that a lot of people would think that posting on kotaku is a sure sign of never getting a girl.

It kinda reminds me of people saying "Sure, I drink. But at least I don't smoke weed", "I smoke weed, but at least I don't do any of that chemical shit", "Yea, I take ecstasy every now and then, but at least I don't do heroin", "Sure, I take heroin, but at least I'm no GAMER".

Fuck you all. The guy who did this is obviously a master of his craft. Which is probably more than could be said about 99% of the morons here trash talking about him.

When was the last time you created something with your hands? And no, wanking doesn't count.

I really want to be impressed by this, but I'm finding it to be quite difficult because it's WOW related.

Thank you WOW. You mood-killer you.

@Yatterman: Nice, but is she attractive? I don't know because I can't see anything but her knee.

@SnakeCL:
"The problem is the vast majority of "hardcore" male gamers have problems with hygiene and social interaction"
Let's play generalize, the same is true for women.
Also, about attractive female cosplayers and gamers, yes, they exist. But how often do you see them prancing around in their costumes and yelling for everyone to hear that she loves [videogame of choice]? You mostly see them showing pictures to their friends or online. Because it's a sure shot that if you're attractive, female and a videogame fan, there will be hordes of smelly and socially inept men shuffling on to you like zombies to delicious brains.

That guy looks scary.

@Hauler: Hey now..lots of WoW players do other things than play WoW. I play other games and work and maintain a household! ....and play WoW in my free time...whats this sleep thing? The crazy part is the making of the armor..then again go to blizzards page and look at the professional quality artwork people spend days drawing and painting and stuff..they're a little..fanatical aren't they?

@Lot Krotan: I can name half a dozen single attractive female cosplayers and gamers. Not a one of them will say they're single when confronted with a fan boy at a convention drooling at their chest.

@Lot Krotan:

Not true. There are lots of single, attractive, female cosplayers and gamers. The problem is the vast majority of "hardcore" male gamers have problems with hygiene and social interaction, or their IQ's drop exponentially when faced with a member of the opposite gender.

@belo:

clearly you don't know about how companies pay cosplayers at conventions. And even if there are a couple decent looking girls that play WoW and are dedicated enough to cosplay, you can bet that they're already taken by the guy that got them into it and/or a non-nerd.

@Vidunder: I agree. Very classy stuff. And a good amount of dedication with the construction. Even if it weren't WoW-related, the workmanship is worthy of commendation.

I'd like to see some of these commentators tell this German Blacksmith face-to-face just how nerdy they think he is.

I believe the last laugh would be on them.

Too late to write "in b4 nerds make fun of other nerds just because it's hip to let down cosplay"?

Folks, just because someone built an object from his favourite videogame doesn't mean that they are WEARING IT LIKE IT WORKS AND GO AROUND WITH IT. Flash news: they don't think it works. It's just dedication, like people who buy chocobo plushes without riding them.
The "protection against girls" comments are just sad.

Very nice work there, BattleHeat sirs.

The problem with most cosplay costumes is that they have that fake, stiff look to them. There's no weathering or other effects that give it that "worn & used' look.

Nice job regardless, though.
